Magazine Title and Masthead Design
My magazine is titled 'Falsetto'. Some may think this is a reference to only male singers or Opera, but falsetto is the vocal register occupying the frequency range just above the modal voice. Not many musicians can reach this vocal register. Not many people will associate falsetto with R&B.But, it is used by Philip Bailey and Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers. They are both talented and successful R&B singers. Also, R&B singer-songwriter and record producer The Dream released a single titled 'Falsetto' in 2007, which became very popular. The chorus features a falsetto vocal range, showing that falsetto is used within contemporary R&B. Mariah Carey is well known for using a falsetto vocal range.
The Dream - Falsetto
This is my masthead design. I chose red because it is bold and signifies passion - which is consistent in R&B music. I chose this specific font because it looks quite contemporary and isn't too complex, and in my opinion it reflects contemporary R&B.
